Having a nose at a car and this one stamp seem a bit odd - no name or address or location:



Its a KX reg car which is fine as i haven't seen it abused on TopGear etc (v unique spec) and assume the first service was done at the factory because of this stamp? But they ticked that they did 'air filter, pollen, coolant, spark plugs, manual transmission oil' all at 10k after 12 months, and on a Touchtronic III careek

Clearly doesn't add up - any thoughts guys?

Dohhh!!! I think i have it! Some dealers circle the answer for what they have done and some cross out what they haven't.

Some tick over the YES/NO of what they have or haven't done.

Some do half and half - ish! (below)

Totally inconsistent!madeek



How do you confuse a numptie?! Don't give him any service receipts/provenance!!!

Sorry!

Iirc my Rapide S had a fleet operations first stamp. The car was run by someone senior in the Design team (not Marek, maybe Miles?).

Similar to the first service on my V12V. It was Dr Bez's car so Fleet Operations did the first service before it went into the network for sale as a used approved.

Yeah my current one was a KX too - least they could do for the top team. AP absolutely loved his, as well he should!

I’ll match your Fleet Operations



And raise you a Prototype Operations


Quite proud of this one, though I haven’t, as yet, found any secret gadgets.

Yeah more impressive is that it's a 2009 car, so that 38k was all done in just over 12 months!!, not by me I might add. It was a mileage development car run by AML. The next 2 owners only did an extra 10k in 4 years, so I got it at 49k, it's now on over 70k and still going strong, got the clean bill of health recently by Mike at BR.

Might have been but would expect a Works stamp for it then.

I think they register LOADS of cars as demos/management cars. Haven't seen a single pic of this one anywhere - so know it hasn't had Chris Harris caning it in the 24hr Le mans (with the kids in the back) biggrin

Millbrook AML track days - you are explicitly requested not to take photos...

Might have been there?

This is true mate! I punished a Huracan Evo there recently. 186mph and STAND on the brakes LOL! Not how I'd treat my own car! This was probably one of the first ever Rapide S's too... 10,500 miles first year then 540 the nexteek. Hmmm?!

Would love to have those stamps too, they make it a tiny bit more special!
